Abstract
We are writing in response to the editorial "ROPS Are Not Homemade" by W. E. Field, R. Tormoehlen, S. Ehlers, C. Cheng, A. Talbert, G. Deboy, D. Haberlin, and C. V. Schwab, which was published in the July 2019 issue of the Journal of Agricultural Safety and Health (Field et al., 2019). The editorial warns secondary school teachers and FFA advisors about the potential liability of fabricating and installing low-cost rollover protective structures (ROPS) as service learning projects for agricultural education students. The apparent intent of the editorial is to discourage teachers and advisors from carrying out such projects. We wish to present arguments as to why these are actually highly beneficial projects to undertake, and perhaps one of our best hopes for significantly reducing the number of tractor overturn injuries and fatalities by directly involving our nation's youth.
我们写这封信是为了回应W. E. Field、R. Tormoehlen、S. Ehlers、C. Cheng、A. Talbert、G. Deboy、D. Haberlin和C. V. Schwab的社论“ROPS不是自制的”，该社论发表在2019年7月的《农业安全与健康杂志》(Field et al.， 2019)上。社论警告中学教师和FFA顾问，制造和安装低成本翻转保护结构(ROPS)作为农业教育学生服务学习项目的潜在责任。这篇社论的明显意图是阻止教师和顾问开展这样的项目。我们希望提出论据，说明为什么这些实际上是非常有益的项目，也许是我们最大的希望之一，通过直接参与我们国家的年轻人来显著减少拖拉机翻车受伤和死亡的数量。
